Maritime Burnham offers a ‘sensitive’ alternative to the Maltings sheds development plan
Burnham’s planning row over the Maltimgs sheds continues. The yard owner, Mr Prior, now wishes to keep the boatyard trading, but says it needs significant investment, which could come from the proceeds of the sale of the Maltings sheds.

The organisations is asking for folks to write to Maldon Council opposing the application, which is on the council’s website.
